​Members of the Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ University community joined together for "A Day of Respect," Nov. 21, in connection with the Rise Above Campaign. Students, faculty and staff donned orange T-shirts and ribbons to show support for diversity. Professor of Philosophy Don Reed encouraged dialogue on social media as part of the day using the hashtag #OneWitt.
Below is a sample of the engagement on Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ’s campus during this inaugural “Day of Respect.â€
